Did you know that 75% of adolescents experience body image distress?
BE REAL's Body Confident Schools workshops explore the effect body confidence has on children for the adults in children's lives. Our participants learn how to make shifts in thinking and behavior from what our current society–diet culture–sees as “normal” to create mentally healthier, more body confident environments for children. Our audiences are parents and educators: teachers, coaches, school wellness professionals, and counselors.
